Sonic

Sometimes I feel like I'm in the middle of an MTV "16 and Pregnant" episode when dining at America's Drive inn!

Sonic is weird. Yet I find myself here pretty often, don't really know why. Seems a fantastic place to bring some ultra-fit friends from Denmark, "see, we are so fat we don't even get out of our cars. Push the red button and the fried food just comes to us!"

Someone in Shawnee, Oklahoma did have a great idea, I pass 3 Sonics on my short commute to work, apparently there are over 3500 locations.

So what's wrong with Sonic? First, it has no bathroom. What?! Totally weird I know. So sit cross legged at Sonic until you can reach a McDonald's bathroom.

The food here is not the healthiest stuff on the planet. "Happy hour" does give you 50% off soft drinks. Yay! But, they are 90% ice and after tipping your carhop (a hotly debated topic on the Internet) you find that Coke was really no bargain at all.

By the way, yes tip your server, always, like decent human beings.

What's right with Sonic? This is the only place I can find a "Chicago" style hot dog in Arkansas, no it is not the best, but not bad! If you are going to blow your diet, the Sonic Blast is a tasty route to obesity. Sometimes, tot's instead of fries totally rock.
